More new channels to come?

An Virgin insider has told me that Virgin will release the name of a new channel each week.

Doesn't that all depend on how well they advertise their hd offerings? Everytime you open the paper or look on the tv you see an advert for SkyHD and you never see them for Virgin so how are they taking revenue from sky?

We only know about the channels 'cause were sad geeks :p: and I doubt the average Virgin customer even knows that they offer HD, so basically hurry up and advertise it virgin.

I think it's better that they save money and get more channels before advertising because if they advertise for every new channel it may get a bit expensive :)

True but what about those cable only adverts you used to get years ago, couldn't they do that to let their excising customers know about HD?

mmmm i say it mroe they want peopel on the xl not that they need ot them to cover the cost, although they will need more on xl ot probally add mroe after this bout

It will happen one way or another, cs told me they expect this to be sorted by May also including the interactive button. The guy on the phone said Virgin got back the Sky channels through be pateince & it looks likely to pay off again :)

I have been told to say Virgin Media MAY release the name of a new channel each week.

More are coming but I do not know when Virgin will tell us.

(I misread it - sorry)
